Looks more like a hybrid between a jewel and a firemouth maybe?

 

[anthony byrne]

i dont think so it moves a lot of the stones around and has a lot of red on its tail you cant see much in the pictures

 

[Coler]

a lot of red you say ?

owzat ? http://www.cichlidforum.com/profiles/species.php?id=456 (Geophagus 'Bahia Red')

edit : thought this was him earlier but didn't think yours was red enough...but if the red is underplayed in the pics maybe

oh hey welcome to AC btw

Geo brasiliensis?

 

[Coler]

thought about that one...but for the ref to red...http://www.cichlidforum.com/profiles/species.php?id=440...not sure on the finnage either.

i think thats it red bahia but not sure some times it has a black line on its face and the black dot on its side gos

 

[Coler]

that kind of colouration change generally happens when the fish is a bit stressed

thanks all but red bahia and geo brasiliensis look near the same to me
